K-1 Helmet:The K-1 high altitude partial pressure helmet made by International Latex Corporation was the first U.S. high altitude helmet in the early 50s. It was compouse by an inner hood/neck skirt with rigid metal frame and a one piece green fiberglass outer shell connected to the rigid metal frame of the hood. The removable face plate was made of molded plexiglas for light weight, improved visibility and cost reduction. It was electrical heated by way of tiny wires moded within and used a low pressure oxygen system. The K-1 was later used with the MA-2 face plate with the high pressure oxygen system.
